The Perdana Global Peace International Conference will commence at Dewan Merdeka, Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur beginning 5th till 7th February 2007.
“Wars increasingly involve the killings of innocent people and are therefore, abhorrent and criminal. Killings in war are as criminal as the killings within societies in times of peace. Since killings in peace time are subject to the domestic law of crime, killings in war must likewise be subject to the international law of crimes. This should be so irrespective of whether these killings in war are authorised or permitted by domestic laws.”
